There is a ScrewFix store in walking distance from my front door.

I'll get back to your offer after I've tried without cheating first.

I have a mini-jig, I don't do that much, but it is great. If they want to send me the K5 [I think it is] I will not complain.

We don't want to here about your mini-jig. Please!

Manfred the projects you've done so far look amazing, be interested to see what you consider serious. 
Looking forward to seeing what you can do.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Thanks Mike! How nice of you.

I meant real furniture, like cabinets and sideboards.

And so am I, Mike, I'm not quite convinced that I'm up to it yet, but I got to start learning anyhow, so there is no need to procrastinate. First I'll finish my juice squeezer though.
Cheers!

The biggest time-savers are the Makita trimmer[^], and biscuit cutters.
I've only seen trimmers made by one other company (although many have small routers), but once you've used one, you'll wonder how you lived without it.
If you get all four sizes of collet for it, you can shop around for sets of inexpensive cutting tools.
If you send the missus to buy you a biscuit cutter, tell her to remember to go to a tool store, not a baking goods store.

I was looking for a 3D modeling tool akin to SketchUp Maker.

Ah.
I tend to use pencil & paper. Otherwise, I spend too much time playing with the design tool.

Has anybody else seen this Cricuit Scribe[^]? The Kickstarter thing is already over, but they've added a link where one could order this.
Is there anybody else here, that finds this intriguing or interesting?
What do you say, @DaveAuld or @Mike-Hankey?
As the site also says I think it might be interesting in teaching kids basic electronics.
I've searched for this on CP, but could not find any reference to it.

So...now you really can sketch your design on the back of an envelope!
And then ship it!

No, but I used to have a Project Manager who did that...

Seen it in the Lounge before, or something like it at least.
It's still as interesting as it was back then, and I still haven't come up with an excuse to actually buy one.

Teaching aid perhaps, but ok until the circuit draws too much current and the paper catches fire!

That argument is invalid, one I can make any circuit turn into a fireball by overloading it. No paper needed!

You should stick to basket weaving then.

Any self respecting engineer should know how to turn innocent circuits into flaming balls of destruction.
As to the basket weaving: these strips of wood used to weave the baskets can be honed to a very sharp edge along one of the long sides.
Just saying!

Until you've seen an analogue hardware engineer run out of the building with a chain of spot-welded-together, red-hot-glowing, rechargeable batteries going "Oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t" you haven't lived!

Surely an application - remove electronic firework starters!
That reminds me - must buy fireworks.
